I only sell the good stuff. When a customer tells me they can get the same size valve for half the price. I show them the difference and then say to them "You hired me, a professional licensed plumber, I will only sell quality parts I can stand behind. If you wanted cheap parts then you should of done the job yourself."

i have about 20- 2'' and 20 1.5'' domestic ips nibco ball valves. it's not like i don't want to use them, it's that they are not lead free.

anyone interested in the good stuff outside of california and vermont'

or i could wait until i have a big irrigation job

Rick I was wondering do you use ProPress ball valves? Or do you use the IPS valves with Propress males? I seen lots of the union shops go the IPS route with the Propress male adpters, and always wondered what the reasoning for this is.

up to 1'' propress. after that it's much more economical to install 2 mip adapters and a generic ball valve. of course it's even more economic to solder on 2 stubs and pp a couple couplings. plus it gives you the extra spacing if replacing an existing valve or fittings.
